I am just starting to play Harmonica and (as a guiding principle for new instruments) I don't spend a lot of money over the first one. Though I am not an expert, this harmonica sounds really good for its price. Definitely it's not a toy. It has a very balanced tone and all reeds resonate very well. I recommend this type of harmonica to everyone out there starting to play this instrument and later to get a better one depending on the style of music you may end up playing. Please, do some research over the Net or Youtubers to find out what Keys (A, B, C... etc) work best for your songs. In my case this Gb Major will play over Db Blues songs.

a decent diatonic harmonica at a great price

13.07.2016

I was quite pleased with this harmonica, and got a few in different keys. Great value!

The form factor is quite chunky, fatter than most hohners, but the sound holds up pretty well, giving a rich tone and good bends for blues. I would recommend breaking it in slowly for a few days by gently blowing chords (several holes together).

As a cheap blues harp to fill in your lesser-played keys I would certainly recommend it. If you only buy one harmonica though, particularly if you are learning, I would get recommend a Hohner Special 20 or Lee Oskar Major Diatonic, either in C (as assumed by most tutorials / teachers) which will play a blues in G, or F (so you can play a blues in C),

Please note that a Gb diatonic will play blues (in cross-harp or second position) in Db, so this is the harp you want to play a Db blues. To find the blues key count a perfect fifth up (7 semitones) or a perfect fourth down (5 semitones) from the key it is stamped with.
